REPUBLICANS WERE IN OFFICE DURING THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR, THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION, THE BANANA WARS, THE INVASIONS OF GRANADA AND PANAMA, TH | image tagged in putin plotting | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
To be fair to FDR, we were attacked first. Us getting into WWII wasn't FDR's fault, it was Japan's and Hitler's fault. A similar case happened with WWI, the Germans sent the Zimmerman telegram trying to urge Mexico to declare war on the US which kind of forced Wilson's hand. As for the Mexican wars, it resulted in us annexing Mexico's northwestern territories, or the American southwest as we currently think of it, which contributed greatly to growing this country into a superpower.

Yes, not saying all of the wars we got into were bad, but most of our wars, which got bloody was started by Democrats who said we wouldn't get into war but then did and we (America) were not prepared adding to our death toll a lot when it could be smaller

The World Wars were always going to be a bloodbath, no matter how much preparation we did. Trench warfare in WWI, plus the Nazis fortifying Europe and Japanese culture dictating that you must fight until the end were going to take many lives in order to defeat the Central and Axis powers. Civil wars tend to be pretty messy as well due many different people fighting for different things. For example, the Spanish Civil War between Spain's Republicans and Franco's Nationalists was a hodgepodge of different areas controlled by the two sides ultimately resulting in around 500,000 people killed. Korea, I would say you're right, we should have had more troops in South Korea to defend against the North and that did contribute to a higher death count. I'll also agree with you on Vietnam, as we should have never intervened there in the first place. Ho Chi Minh, if I remember correctly, actually appealed to the United States to free Vietnam from French colonization. He was no enemy of the US until we made him an enemy.

The ones I meant (WW1/WW2/Civil War) which were started by Democrats (or declared) on the American front were okay wars to have for a greater good.

Also the wars you listed were shorter, less bloody and honestly, not as bad as say 400,000 people dying

Most of those wars were unavoidable..... just saying.
Outside of Vietnam & Somalia 1 & 2, we were fighting all those wars regardless.
1812 (for instance) was started because Britain & Canada wanted revenge for the revolutionary war. That was happening regardless of which parties were in power...

1812 was declared by America who wanted Canada

That's one way of looking at it, but lacks historical context. The war of 1812 was gonna happen regardless of who was in power.
Britain and British loyalists in Canada were itching for a fight. That war was unavoidable.
